Chapter 1102: Heavy Losses (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"Da Da Da!" A BF-109 fighter jet swept through the air, and the aviation machine guns fired wildly, and the pilots of the Russian Air Force, who were running for their lives, fell to the ground screaming one after another.
When the airport was bombed by the Luftwaffe and the fighter plane was blown up before it could take off, these Russian pilots could only flee for their lives in all directions. However, they were also targeted by Luftwaffe fighters. Even some Luftwaffe fighters, specifically picked them to attack.
After all, the destruction of the Russian fighters in the United States can certainly cause heavy losses to the Russian Air Force. However, killing the pilots of the Russian Air Force will undoubtedly make the losses of the Russian Air Force even more serious. After all, the plane was destroyed and could be remade. With the industrial strength of Burussia, it is not difficult to produce hundreds or thousands of aircraft every month if you do your best. Of course, the performance of these aircraft is far from being comparable to the advanced fighters of the Luftwaffe.
However, those pilots are not so easy to train. A qualified pilot needs to be trained for many years and consumes a lot of resources to be able to train. Once lost, it's not so easy to replenish. Even before the start of the war between Buenos and Russia, the number of pilots was huge. But once you lose too much in the battle with the Luftwaffe, it is still not so easy to replenish.
In the sky, the Luftwaffe bombardment continued. Because the Russian Air Force only had time to take off a few fighters before the Luftwaffe bombing began. Therefore, when the Luftwaffe bombed, it almost only had to pay attention to the defense of anti-aircraft fire on the ground. Those I-16 fighters of the Russian Air Force, pursued by several F-190 fighters of the Luftwaffe, could not even protect themselves, let alone attack the bombers of the Luftwaffe.
The I-16 fighter is a light fighter with a maximum speed of just over 500 kilometers per hour. In front of the F-190 fighters, it is undoubtedly much slower. You must know that the maximum speed of the F-190 fighter is more than 750 kilometers per hour. In air combat, speed is undoubtedly a very important factor, although it is not the most important.
"It's too slow, these planes of the Russians are much slower than the BF-109 fighters, let alone compared to our F-190 fighters!" A Luftwaffe fighter pilot with a contemptuous smile on his face. An F-190 fighter he piloted has successfully bitten an I-16 fighter of the Russian Air Force.
"Go to hell, Russians!" The German pilot pressed the cannon firing button.
"Knock knock!"
A few cannon shells flew quickly towards the I-16 fighter.
Despite their efforts to get rid of it, the Russian pilots were still unsuccessful.
A shell hit the tail of the I-16, blowing up the entire tail. This caused the I-16 fighter to lose its balance and drag the smoke to the ground.
Several other I-16 fighters, in front of the Luftwaffe F-190 fighters, could not get rid of it either. After all, both the quality of the pilots and the performance of the fighters, the gap is too great. These fighters of the Russian Air Force, like babies in front of adults, are almost powerless to fight back.
"Destroy the ammunition depot at the airfield!" The commander gave the order.
After the destruction of the oil depot, only the ammunition depot was left undestroyed. As long as the ammunition depot is destroyed, the airfield can be considered completely destroyed. It will take a long time for Burussia to reuse the airport. By then, the German Army might have already hit here.
Several Stuka dive bombers began to bomb the ammunition depot located in the corner of the airfield with heavy aerial bombs.
Although, the defense of the ammunition depot was thick. However, in the case of successive hits by heavy aerial bombs, it was impossible to resist.
"Boom!"
A violent explosion sounded, and a heavy aerial bomb exploded inside, after penetrating the ammunition depot. The violent explosion also detonated the opponent's bomb in the ammunition depot. The entire ammunition depot was destroyed in a violent explosion.
Some of the Russian officers and soldiers who were not able to escape from the perimeter of the ammunition depot were blown to pieces on the spot.
"Drop all the bombs and retreat!" The commander gave the order.
The destruction of the airfield of the Russian Air Force, this is nothing more than their first task. Next, the army will attack. At that time, the Air Force will also have to mobilize a large number of warplanes to provide support for the army's offensive. So, they don't have time to waste any more.
The fighters in the sky began to drop bombs indiscriminately. There is no need to bring back the bombs to the airport if they are not used up, in which case they pose a threat to safety.
Some fighters, too, joined in. In the case that the fighters of the Russian Air Force are basically destroyed, they only need to leave a small number of bullets and shells. The rest of the bullets and shells were used by them to slaughter the Russian officers and soldiers on the airport.
The Luftwaffe attack lasted only half an hour. By the time the Luftwaffe planes had withdrawn, the Burussia airfield had been completely destroyed. The runway was riddled with craters, and buildings were completely destroyed. The fuel in the oil depot was still burning, and black smoke rushed into the sky. On the ground, there are stumps and broken arms everywhere, and the corpses of those officers and soldiers of the Bueran Air Force who died in battle are everywhere.
"It's over, it's completely over! The air force of the Germans, it was too powerful. Our air force can't resist it at all! If this continues, how is it possible to defeat the Germans? "An officer of the Russian Air Force, looking at the devastated airport, was very desperate.
The difference in strength between the two sides is undoubtedly very obvious. Under such circumstances, Burussia is undoubtedly at a complete disadvantage. It was undoubtedly impossible to defeat the Luftwaffe, or to resist the Luftwaffe's attack. As a result, many officers and men of the Russian Air Force have taken a negative attitude toward this war.
In the Luftwaffe offensive, not only the airfield in Mogilev was destroyed. There are more than 30 airports large and small in the western part of the country, and none of them have been spared. Without any precautions, most of the Russian fighters were destroyed on the ground. Only a handful of warplanes were able to take to the skies in an emergency. Of course, these fighters who rushed into the air were also shot down in the end, and they had no way to stop the Luftwaffe attack.
It can be said that after this round of offensives, the Russian air force suffered heavy losses, and in a short period of time, it was no longer able to compete with the Luftwaffe for air supremacy.
